Best opening sequence.

The best intro I had seen in recent years is, no doubt, Bioshock. I even show it to several people that don't play videogames, and they agree its impressive.

I liked it better than other intros (like Starcraft 2, Warcraft 3 or Final Fantasy XIII), because its gameplay, not FMV.

I personally enjoy Left 4 Dead's intro. Watching it definitely set the mood for the game, at least for me. I'm also a fan of RPG/JRPG intros, moreso the JRPG intros. Though I can never seem to think of any that I'd call the best. I like the Kingdom Hearts intro, if only for the song. Loved that song. :}

I've always liked (ever since I first saw it) L4D2's opening cinematic.

"...Wait for official instruction. Huh, wait my ass."
"Kill all sons of bitches. That's my official instruction."
Kick door open, explodes zombie head with shottie.

Good times.

"THIS USED TO BE A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD!" Punches Zombie in the skull.

Gotta love Coach.

I'm pretty sure I can think of a better one, but on the spot, I've got to say Dissidia: Final Fantasy was just badass.

Two other older intro gems were Age of Kings and Age of Mythology:

Ahh yes, two fond games of my childhood. This was a badass trailer that blew me away. However I was just disappointed that it's going to be an MMO *sigh* [sub]dammit[/sub].

And the Kingdom Hearts 2 Opening

HELL.....YES

For me one of my personal favorites is from Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time. The characters and the music helped to set a chilling, while still epic intro in my opinion. That and I am a huge R&C fan and I had been waiting for the game since Quest for Booty.

Spoiler: Part 1

As usual, I'm gonna go with the D-Day sequence from MOH: Frontline.

You mean this?

that's a film...

Bioshock 1

The entire scene from crashing on an aeroplane. Swimming away and discovering the underwater world for the very first time! I was truly just shellshocked that I started to drool at some point with my jaws upon.


agreed! i used to play it over and over again XD

 

[Geekosaurus]

I still maintain that the opening cargoship level from COD4 is just epic.

As usual, I'm gonna go with the D-Day sequence from MOH: Frontline.

Yes it is. I've watched it twice and played through MOH:Frontline twice and I'm pretty sure they're the same "opening" sequences.
